🥋❤️ Even more from our 5-year celebration at Leapgate! ❤️🥋

I couldn’t fit everything into one post, so here’s even more from our very special 5-year celebration at Leapgate activity centre

Some fantastic photos and videos of our Leapgate students in their new Young Gloves Karate T shirts showing off their skills, putting their training into practice and, most importantly, having fun and enjoying themselves. 😊

It really is wonderful to see how much everyone has developed over the years. The confidence, the smiles, the effort and the pride they have in what they can achieve is what makes these sessions so special.

Five years ago we started bringing Young Gloves Karate to Leapgate activity centre and five years later, seeing everyone performing together is something we can be incredibly proud of.
Matt Jarrett you are doing an incredible job, and Amanda Jarrett you’ll be wearing a YGK Leapgate T shirt next time.

Next month Samantha Louise May will be joining in the fun and I know she is very much looking forward to it.

🥋 BACK TO SCHOOL… STRONGER TOGETHER! 💪

As the kids head back to school, why not give them something that will help them outside the classroom too?

At Young Gloves Karate, we believe karate is about so much more than kicking and punching. It’s about building confidence, respect, friendships and resilience — giving children the skills to stand up for themselves, deal with bullying and believe in themselves. ❤️

🥋 Beginners welcome

👊 No experience needed

👧👦 Classes from age 4+ through to adults

🤝 Friendly, supportive and family-focused club

⭐ 1st lesson FREE!

Whether your child is shy, lacking confidence, full of energy or simply looking to make new friends, come along and give karate a try.

Let’s make this school year their BEST one yet! 🔥

🥋❤️ 5 YEARS OF YOUNG GLOVES AT LEAPGATE! ❤️🥋

What a fantastic afternoon we had at Leapgate activity centre celebrating 5 years of Inclusive Karate at Young Gloves Karate🎉

To celebrate this special milestone, I wanted to do something that would really show everyone just how much they are part of the Young Gloves family.

So, every member of our Leapgate group was given their very own Young Gloves Karate T-shirt, personalised with their name. 👕❤️

Seeing everyone wearing their shirts was absolutely brilliant.
They looked fantastic and, more importantly, we hope they know just how proud we are to have them as part of Young Gloves.

A massive thank you to Matt Jarrett, who has run the monthly sessions and done an amazing job supporting everyone over the last five years. His commitment has helped make Leapgate activity centre such a special part of Young Gloves. 👏👏
And of course Amanda Jarrett who supports tirelessly at each session.

Here’s to many more years of Young Gloves Karate at Leapgate! 🥋❤️

🥎 YGK TEAM ROUNDERS NIGHT! 🥎

What a brilliant night with the Young Gloves Team! 😄

A massive WELL DONE to everyone who came along and played tonight. There was plenty of running, some questionable catching 😂, a bit of competitiveness… and most importantly, lots of laughs!

It was great to get everyone together away from the mats and just have some fun as a team. ❤️

🏆 PLAYER OF THE MATCH – GEORGE! 🏆

A fantastic performance from George tonight and thoroughly deserved! 👏🥎

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it such a brilliant evening.

Well done everyone, you were brilliant! 👏🥋❤️

🥋❤️ A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY FOR ME ❤️🥋

After an incredible 25 years of teaching with Young Gloves, my brother Sensei Gerard D Thomas has made the difficult decision to bring his classes at St Joseph’s, Stourbridge to an end.

For me, this is about much more than a karate class. He has been beside me throughout so much of the Young Gloves journey, and I honestly can’t thank him enough for everything he has given to the club and to the many students he has taught over the years.

25 years is an incredible achievement. 🥋👏

You’re not just my brother, you’re a huge part of the YGK family — and you always will be. ❤️

Thank you, Bro. Love ya. 🥋❤️
